when we were kids at school, every valentine's day, im sure that we were asked by our teachers to make a Valentine Card and give it to someone on the 14th.. syempre ikaw naman bilang bata, susunod ka. i remember, ang lagi kong binibigyan ng card ko noon was my bestfriend John...
walang malisya! wala akong gusto sa kanya, its just that, during that time, i thought, no one would appreciate the card that ive made than my bestfriend and seatmate at lunch buddy na rin.
while growing up as a teenager, pag valentine's parang laging may pressure... i used to go to a catholic 'all boys' school kase, and that time, wala pang nakakaalam na lalaki din ang gusto ko.. the funny thing was, my classmates would ask me 'uy sinong chick date mu sa valentines ha?'... sa isip-isip ko lang 'anu ka ba?! kaw ang gusto kong date, payag ka?' haahahha...
after HS, i went to a computer school for a while, nakilala ko dun si 'J' and eventually siya na din ang naging first boyfriend ko (that was when i was 17), sabi ko sa sarili ko nun 'im not gonna be loser on valentines day, may BF na yata ako', but sadly after 8months of being together, we broke up...and it was the day before valentine's...how pathetic.... =(
marami pang naging relasyon after nun, may matagal, may maikli until dumating si 'P'.... i thought 'this is it'... anything and everything that im looking for in a guy nasa kanya na. sya nadin ang pinakamatagal kong naging karelasyon at syempre ang pinakaminahal ko...lahat ng valentines that ive spent with him was really memorable, lahat masaya, lahat kakaiba... but as Barbara Streisand's song says 'some good things never last'...ayun... nawala din.
after that, pag valentines ang lagi ko ng ka-date are my friends... at take note: hindi lang ito single friends, pati ang mga jowa nila, bitbit din namen... i told myself 'why am i happier whenever i spend my valentine's with friends than with a significant other?'... well i guess its meant to be like that... kase when you think of it, ang friends pag after nyo magdinner at magbayad ng kinain ninyo, walang guilty feeling, kase alam mo na hindi mo naman sila makakaaway one of these days because of jealousy dahil nakita mo silang may kasamang iba sa mall o kaya ay may katext na iba, jowa lang ang gumagawa nun... diba??
mas masarap nga ka-date ang friends kase habangbuhay sa kanila ka lang at sila sayo lang din... wala kang kaagaw....
now im thinking, if i could go back to my childhood at papagawain ulit ako ng V-day Card, laging sa friends ko nalang ibibigay... because afterall, when your relationship with your partner, your bf/gf, your wife/hubby ended... sa friends lang din ang takbo mu... kaya they deserve all the cards that they could get. and more...
love your friends.
